Power window problem

The rear power windows on my 2009 HHR LT stopped working. All fuses are good and I replaced the drivers door master switch. The rear window motors
are good because they work when jumped. There is no power going to the green power supply wire to either motor. Yes, I've tried the rear lockout control
on the master switch. On the wiring diagram there seems to be a junction where the green power wires meet. Any ideas on this? The fronts work fine.
Thanks.

The green wire has been known for corrosion, you’re gonna have to follow that wire and find the junction and repair it.

Where is the most probable place for the corrosion ?
Any proof or pictures for this ?
Wiring diagram would help.

Issue solved. If you recall only the drivers front window would only work . Turns out the entire issue was corroded wire at J323. No one mentioned this as a possible problem. For those who want to know it's in the wire bundle under the the carpet in front of the left front corner of the Drivers seat. This is the Dark Green Wire that connects to ALLthe windows. Hope this helps othes

So, yes there is proof of this Catman, it was just posted on the 5th of September, so I decided to not include it in my post.
I don’t see how you didn’t notice that , or maybe you just like me or Donbrew or RJ to find information and post it for you.
There is a reason the search window was developed for this site.
In this thread post #1 it is stated no power to the green wire, there for it would warrant investigation of that wire for corrosion and or a break in the wire, a wire diagram is available on the inter webs , our search window connects to Google for this purpose.

AND, Catman. If you're going to quote someone else's post, at least acknowledge that you did. Reason being. You put that quote in post #6 without any quotation marks so it looks like it's something you said and done..........Lots of confusion could follow.

The corroded green clump of wires under the front left carpet was the problem. I cleaned up the wires and respliced them and now all windows work.
The area was wet which probably caused the corrision. Thanks for the information.
